Can any of you folks identify this driver? It's out of a Sharma organ speaker and is blown. I thought I'd see if I can get the specs on it but it dates from the mid-1970's and it's a bit before my time!

 

It is marked Type: DC25 Spec: T1674.

 

Cheers,

 

Kevin

I'll stick it up on our forum and see if anyone knows. We got a long list of knowledgable old-timers as regulars :)

 

See! Vitually instant response :)

 

And some commentary on them in use too!

 

Ita A Celestion DC 25 Horn Driver---these were Celestions equivalent of the better known RCF TW series drivers---date back to the late sixties or early seventies---these Celestion versions were not very popular as they did not go up very high and you still had to use tweeters above them--cheers--John.

 

..and it keeps coming....

 

You beat me to it John! They sound rather awful as well,really harsh"squark"..got a brown phenolic diaphramm if i remember.

Yeah thanks Norty! I put this query on another forum as well and got the same response. They are actually a speech horn driver (A la Maplins Holiday Camp) and are optimised for speech, with a max freq of 8KHz at 25W.

 

I've found a mid-range driver that will probably do, I'll give it a go.

 

Cheers,

 

Kevin
